Oh, let's see--

The Secret of Nihm,
Little Nemo,
Rose Pedal Place,
and the Neverending Story.

There are more but they're not coming to mind right now.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

No offense, but shouldn't this be in "In the Spotlight"?

The Neverending Story 1+2
Jumanji
Mortal Kombat
Transformers: The Movie
Batman: Return of the Joker (ok, so I wasn't a kid when I saw it, but still... :P )
Return to Oz
Star Wars
The Mighty Ducks
Milo and Otis
Batman Forever (I would include the first two, but this one was more of a kids' film than the Tim Burton stuff)

On a related note...I won the Neverending Story 1 and 2 on last night on Ebay. :lol:

Star wars (the original)
Tron
Goonies
The Black Hole
Return from Witch Mountain
Any of the Godzilla movies, esp. with Mothra (they where shown on Saturdays)

You guys have named some of my personal favorite movies of all time. I didn't know anyone else liked The Last Starfighter. I even bought the game. The terrible, terrible game.

That Transformers movie really freaked me out when I watched it, Optimus Prime going down like that was damaging to an eight year old. Ah well, Hot Rod was better anyways. I really got a kick out of those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies -- especially the second one with Vanilla Ice in it. Hahaha that song was dope.

The Star Wars films, Goonies and Neverending Story stuck in my head for weeks at a time too. I think I saw the Star Wars flicks more than my health asked for.

FUN FACT: I just put up a post with nothing in it!

Anyways I just remembered another movie from the depths of obscurity. The He-Man Movie! It was ridiculous, but there was one part that stuck out in my head: when the Masters of the Universe discover fried chicken!

Wow... straylight would never forgive me if I posted ALL my favorite childhood movies :sweat:

Basically I lived in a house where disney was the #1 supplier of kid's movies.

The 2 funniest disney movies ever, IMO, are the Emporer's new groove, and finding nemo. My all-time favorite funny/cool combo is probably Pirates of the Carribbean (I've seen it more than 3 times now and I still like it.. that says something)

Also, I have been a big starwars fan since I was young :)

The only classical music I've ever fallen in love with is John Willaims, and the soundtracks to Pirates' and LOTR.

LOTR is cool too :)

If seem to be going on and off topic and back again its because this whole thing is a bit confusing to me as I am what some people would consider still a kid :sweat:

Milo and Otis is very cute too! Favorite song from that movie: "Here comes the dog!" Not sure if anyone remembers otis singing that when he falls in a hole lol

The lion king and toy story are some other really good disney films...

Movies that frighten me to no end: The Black Hole [that soundtrack is creepy too]; Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory [the oompaloopmas are like pure evil manifesting itself in the bodies of migit carrots that the carrot processing facility threw into the trash and has been sitting there for weeks]; The Wiggles; Barney

I am a Disney movie freak. Most of the old Disney movies I saw when I was little have stayed my faves.

Beauty and the Beast
Alladin
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella
The Black Stallion (not Disney, but...meh...lol)
Anastasia (also not Disney....I'd give her a ha! and a hyah! and I'd kick 'er sir.)


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

When I was a younger kid, I used to always watch Space Balls. I remember when it was on HBO for like a month. My brother and I would get up every morning and watch it about 4 times a day. Those were the days……..

My favorite Disney movie was always Sleeping Beauty. I liked it because the prince wasn’t just some bone head who is the object of the princesses’ affections. He actually has a personality and is even the main character in the later half of the movie. (what was his name anyway?????)
Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.
- J. Hudson Taylor
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Me and my brother used to do the exact same thing, but we had it on tape, so we would just rewind it and watch it again. Too bad there weren't DVDs back then, it would have saved us a lot of trouble. My brother and I watched it so much that we could actually do a two man performance of it, we had every line memerized. :sweat:

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
